AUTHOR J.K. Rowling told US television talk show host Oprah Winfrey she cried uncontrollably when she finished the last of her best-selling Harry Potter books, but did not rule out writing another one.
"I'm not saying I won't. I love writing them," the 45-year-old British author told Winfrey in a videotaped interview at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland, that aired on ABC TV on Friday.
Rowling, who rarely gives interviews, said the characters are "in my head still."
She added that she had always wanted to be a writer and knew she could tell a story but needed the right subject. Inspiration struck while she was on a delayed London-bound train, but she found herself without a pen. Eventually, the words poured out.
"I have to write for my own mental health. I need to write. I love it, I need to do it," she said, citing the discipline and structure writing gives her.
In an hour-long interview, Rowling and Winfrey shared sentiments about the vagaries of fame, being self-made billionaires, and ending a phase in their lives.
